Founded by Novia McLaren, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, the practice offers a comprehensive range of services, including counseling, psychotherapy, coaching, and mental health evaluations. Located in Newington, Connecticut, My Story Counseling provides a private and safe space where clients can receive compassionate, expert care tailored to their unique needs.
With a passion for empowering clients, Novia McLaren has built a practice that integrates her expertise in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with a foundation in systems theory, creating a clinical approach that adapts to the diverse needs of her clients. My Story Counseling is designed to help individuals navigate their personal journeys, whether those journeys involve working through emotional trauma, improving relationships, or addressing mental health concerns.
“We believe in the mind-body-spirit connection,” said McLaren. “Each person is unique, and we strive to meet their needs using various therapeutic frameworks. It’s about healing from within and empowering people to write their own stories.”
The practice stands out for its inclusivity and openness. My Story Counseling serves individuals from all backgrounds, offering both secular and Christian counseling services for those who wish to integrate spiritual guidance into their healing process. Whether clients seek therapy to overcome trauma, relationship difficulties, or general mental health struggles, My Story Counseling provides them with the tools to improve their lives and relationships.
Over the past nine years, My Story Counseling has earned a reputation for excellent client service and strong professional relationships. The practice is recognized for its deep commitment to providing accessible, high-quality mental health care, and it is growing to meet the needs of the community. In the fall, My Story Counseling plans to launch workshops and expand its services by adding an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) to the team. This addition will bring a more holistic approach to care, combining therapy with medical support, making it easier for clients to receive all the services they need in one place.
The office, located in the quiet town of Newington, offers a private, comfortable environment where clients feel at ease while addressing sensitive issues. For clients outside the local area, the practice continues to offer virtual therapy, making it even more accessible to individuals throughout Connecticut.
“Our goal is not only to help people improve their mental health but to ensure that they feel understood and supported every step of the way,” McLaren said. “We want people to feel that they are not alone, and to know that they can always find the help they need here.”
As My Story Counseling looks to the future, the practice continues to prioritize client care and community outreach, with a focus on raising awareness about mental health and making therapy more accessible to those in need.
